Question

Blossom Corporation had income from continuing operations of $10,895,300 in 2020. During 2020, it disposed of its restaurant division at an after-tax loss of $194,400. Prior to disposal, the division operated at a loss of $321,800 (net of tax) in 2020 (assume that the disposal of the restaurant division meets the criteria for recognition as a discontinued operation). Blossom had 10,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding during 2020. Prepare a partial income statement for Blossom beginning with income from continuing operations.
